Lessons

I offer personalized instruction in lap steel, pedal steel, and dobro for students of all experience levels. Whether you're picking up the instrument for the first time or looking to expand your technique, ​I tailor each lesson to your individual goals, interests, and musical background. Rather than focusing only on exercises and technique, I like to get students making music as quickly as possible. Many students are able to play basic chord progressions and begin jamming along with backing tracks after just a lesson or two.

​

Every lesson includes customized practice materials designed specifically for you. Depending on your goals, I create tablature, backing tracks, chord charts, and other resources so you have clear, enjoyable material to work on between lessons.

​

I believe the best way to learn is by playing music. Whether we're working through a favorite Hawaiian song, improvising over a Western swing progression, or learning the fundamentals of lap steel or pedal steel, I encourage students to play along, experiment, and build confidence from the very beginning.
